Storage API not yest working?

[zorro]

Found in GWT Release (e.g. 2.4.0, 2.5.0 RC):

2.4.0

Encountered on OS / Browser (e.g. WinXP, IE8-9, FF7):

Windnows Vista, Chrome 19 latest stable

Detailed description (please be as specific as possible):

Storage.getLocalStorageIfSupported() returns null when called from a GWTTestcase in both devmode and in production mode

Shortest code snippet which demonstrates issue (please indicate where

actual result differs from expected result):

public void gwtSetUp() throws Exception{

super.gwtSetUp();

Storage localStorage = Storage.getLocalStorageIfSupported();

I know status of the Storage API is experimental. Does it work the same for you or is problem in other settings of mine?

Zorro,

Please check your description. You said your problem is that the localStorage support flag is set wrong in IE8, IE9, FF7, and Chrome19 according to a GWTTestCase? GWTTestCase runs on a headless browser in HtmlUnit (on a FF 3.5 instance I believe). I don't see how you can assert that you're testing these through GWTTestCase on these browsers.

Actually, you can test in real browsers: https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideTestingRemoteTesting

AFAIK, Google tests GWT in Safari, Firefox and IE in various versions in their CI environment.

Touche, I must admit I have not used GWTTestCase in this remote manner. It sounds quite powerful and I'll investigate it further.
